@hollowman@fosstodon.org @Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social Any particular sort of thing? The big museums will be accessible, as far as we remember. MOSI is good for science and engineering, of course. https://www.scienceandindustrymuseum.org.uk/visit/accessibility I think the John Rylands library has good accessibility, and is impressive gothic interior architecture. https://www.library.manchester.ac.uk/rylands/visit/plan-your-visit/accessibility/ Castlefield Viaduct is a garden built on the old railway viaduct. Level access from Deansgate/Castlefield tram stop. A nice juxtapositon of industrial and green. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/cheshire-greater-manchester/castlefield-viaduct The above are all free entry I think Out of town a bit, and I don't know how accessible the buses are, but fine if you have car transport, is RHS Bridgewater, for the full on garden experience. From memory, mostly flat paths. There is an admission charge. https://www.rhs.org.uk/gardens/bridgewater/plan-your-visit/accessibility-at-bridgewater If I think of anything else, I'll add it.

@hollowman@fosstodon.org My first thoughts are always 'the museums' and in Manchester that would be the Museum of Science and Industry. https://www.scienceandindustrymuseum.org.uk/ Manchester Art Gallery is also one of my go to's. https://manchesterartgallery.org/ There is also the Peoples History Museum. https://phm.org.uk/visit/access/ It also depends on whereabouts you are based and how far you want to travel. The steam museum in Bolton is good. https://www.nmes.org/ @suearcher@cupoftea.social @suearcher@toot.wales
